That account has TEN tweets spanning 2013 - 2020. Then this thread. Don’t believe everything you read even if it sounds like a believable novel

Doesn't that increase the credibility? Most working professionals don't tweet much at all. I think I have 5 tweets in the last 10 years.

  Only that the referrenced account is not the primary source. See the very first sentence.

  That’s actually a different thread. Though, the doctor in the thread above is also real.

  Why is it idiotic? It could absolutely be true -- but there are definitely interests out there who may wish to spread panic. I could just as easily create a similar low-volume Twitter account with the opposite portrayal -- doesn't mean people should believe me.

Since when the volume of tweets is an indicator of their veracity?
